Ex-‘Idol’ contestant claims Abdul affair http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7591639/ Report: Clark outlines relationship in book proposal By Jeannette Walls MSNBC Updated: 6:20 p.m. ET April 21, 2005Has Paula Abdul been judging more than the singing talents of the hopefuls on “American Idol”? Corey Clark, a 24-year-old former contestant, is claiming that he had a “secret affair” with the 42-year-old judge from the hit show, according to the new issue of Globe magazine. Clarke reportedly is claiming that he had sex with Abdul in the guest room of her house, that she paid some of his expenses and promised to fund his career to the tune of $2 million, and that she made him vow to keep their relationship a secret. The allegations are reportedly from a book proposal that Clark has been shopping to publishers. “[Abdul] told [Clark] she wanted to look out for him and be his ‘special friend,’” according to the Globe article. “But he claims she warned him that he couldn’t tell anyone or she’d make things very hard for him, cautioning, ‘Don’t screw me or you’ll be sorry.’” The proposal apparently also describes how Abdul once came up behind Clark, rubbed his neck, and then they began “kissing passionately and feeling each other up” as they moved to the guest bedroom. Clark got booted from the show after it was revealed that he faced charges of assaulting his teenage sister and clashing with police while resisting arrest. The article also says that Clark was told that another "American Idol" contestant, Justin Guarini, "bragged about having an affair with Paula." Guarini's rep denies there was any affair. Abdul’s spokeswoman didn’t return The Scoop’s repeated calls for comment, but the Globe article says that Abdul “disputes the allegations contained in the book proposal.” Separately, ABC is reportedly working on a “potentially explosive exposé” on “American Idol,” possibly about “the relationship between ‘Idol’ judges and contestants,” according to Variety magazine.

Am I the only one who finds this part hilarious He apparently "screwed" her in more than one way. Oh the irony!
I always wondered if anything happened between Paula and that guy from her "Opposites Attract" video...
I knew one of Paula's dancers when I lived in LA. She would go on and on about how nice she was to everyone. Doesn't sound like her to threaten anyone.
maybe this is like the old "casting couch" with the genders reversed? Oh well, doubt most guys would mind too much.
Paula still looks damn good for 42. So this pirate-wannabe joker who assaults a woman (his own sister) gets to sleep with Paula Abdul, and she gives him money, and now he's looking to make more by publishing a tell-all book? No justice in the world.
